Now stop!
This tends to get silly.
As I said, if I make a preview movie, I won't show trees only

[UB_]

Is there an option to disable trees?

Weapon Shaders


A Shock Rifle with CelShading



A Shock Rifle with emissive Materials (Self Illumination Maps)

For the emissive Material I simply used 3 VERY small Textures to create the Effect:


256x256 Pixels


64x64 Pixels


64x64 Pixels


Beam Emitters


Beam Emitter with a 32x32 Pixel Texture, uses 8 Segments, 2 Sheets


Beam Emitter with a 512x512 Pixel Texture, uses 6 Segments, 2 Sheets


Beam Emitter with a 512x512 Pixel Texture, uses 6 Segments, 2 Sheets

As you can see, a small number of Segments (around 4-32) is enough to draw cool Beams.
The first picture was chosen to show how it is made up out of connected segments.

Nice.

...and I was like "Wooha!!"...

Moar.

Are those weapon shaders actual combined textures on 1 mesh or a bunch of meshes with different textures layered above each other?
